Winter Wonderland my Butt!!

Sorry you had such a lousy day, but thanks for the reminder to put the tow strap and other emergency gear I carry back in my truck. It was parked for a while, have to re-stock the kit.

Speaking of which, REMEMBER!

ALways carry a blanket, water, and some non-perishable food in the car when you're driving in lousy weather, especially in rural areas. You never know where you're going to get stuck, or how long you're going to be there.

Uhhh that sounds awful!

We have had a snow blizard over here, we are supposed to have 70 mph + wind and get 6 more inches of snow tonight. To bad I still have to work. Dogs don't let themselfs out and poop doesn't get scooped itself. Wish I could get out of it.

You reminded me of the earthquake supply kit and those bars that look and taste like particle board!

LOL,
You can taste the fat and sugar in them--ewwwww!

Also a cell phone.

A couple of years ago I took my cat Priscilla to the vet school hospital at Michigan State University in East Lansing (about 70 miles from Ann Arbor). Right around the time we were leaving, a snowstorm started up. 10 miles or so along on I-96, midway between a couple of exits several miles apart, I had a flat tire! By then, the snow was really coming down and the visibility was poor. I rolled over to the shoulder and turned on the flashers.

I don't use a cell phone in everyday life, but I have a TracFone (prepaid cell phone) for out-of-town and emergency use.. just for something like this, for example!.

I called Triple-A, and before long I was on my way again without a lot of trouble. I shudder to think of what things might have been like if I hadn't had it. (The late, great) Priscilla and I might still be stranded on I-96!
